The island-state will invest in next-generation facilities with high-specification units that encourage the co-location of companies and drive the use of advanced technologies.

Productivity

Enterprises can expect to see centres of excellence and innovation set up in Singapore, which will aid them in building differentiating capabilities to boost productivity.

The Government will also work with reputed local research institutions and universities to develop world-class capabilities in the logistics and supply chain management space

At the same time, Singapore will continue to architect itself as a choice location for leading manufacturers and brand owners to base their supply chain activities and decision making.

Talent development

Talent is a key differentiator for global players in today’s disrupted business environment. The Logistics ITM will help the current workforce in Singapore step into the gap by acquiring niche and emerging skills through the Industry Catalyst Programme.

Under the Government's Adapt and Grow initiative, Workforce Singapore's Logistics Professional Conversion Programme will help mid-career workers make a smooth transition to the industry.
